The Nile on eBay Political Ideology in the Arab World by Michaelle L. Browers Discusses some of the most significant ideological debates that have animated the Arab world over the last two decades; from the 'Arab age of ideology', through an 'age of ideological transformation', demonstrating how the recent flow of ideas from one group to another have their roots in the past. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Arab nationalism and Islamism have been the two most potent ideological forces in the Arab region across the twentieth century. Over the last two decades, however, an accommodation of sorts has been developing between liberals, socialists and Islamists, to protest unpopular foreign and domestic policies, such as those aimed at cooperation with Israel or the war in Iraq. By examining the writings of Arab nationalist, socialist and Islamist intellectuals, and through numerous interviews with political participants from different persuasions, Michaelle Browers traces these developments from the 'Arab age of ideology', as it has been called, through an 'age of ideological transformation', demonstrating clearly how the recent flow of ideas from one group to another have their roots in the past. Political Ideology in the Arab World assesses the impact of ideological changes on Egypt's Kifaya! [Enough!] movement and Yemen's joint meeting parties. Table of Contents Introduction. Ideological thought and practice in the Arab region; 1. Retreat from secularism in Arab nationalist and socialist thought; 2. A more inclusive Islamism? The Wasatiyya trend; 3. Framing a cross-ideological alliance; 4. The Egyptian movement for change: intellectual antecedents and generational conflicts; 5. Yemen's joint meeting parties: origins and architects; Conclusion. Ideological rapprochement, accommodation, transformation - and their limits. Review 'Brower's study deserves praise for its engagement with religious and political thought discourses in both English and the original Arabic. The sheer number of Arabic language works consulted is impressive and lends added authenticity to the work.' Political Studies Review Promotional Discusses some of the most significant ideological debates that have animated the Arab world over the last two decades. Review Quote "Browers (Wake Forest Univ.), through case studies of oppositional movements in Egypt and Yemen, argues that competing ideologies of opposition in the contemporary Arab region are accommodationist. She further argues that oppositional alliances are 'as much a product of, as they are a source for, shifts in ideological debates in the Arab world over the past several decades'...[T]he book is an excellent addition to the debate on the politics of opposition and accommodation in the Arab world." -CHOICE, A.R.

Shipping is really slow, which is ok if you're happy to wait a month after the advertised estimated arrival date, which I usually am. Communication from seller is poor, the only updates are from Ebay (once the item is finally shipped). Other than that, items arrive well packaged, undamaged and as per the description. 5 stars for product, quality and value but only given 1 star for shipping time and seller communication.
The Nile Store delivers the goods yet again! And, as usual, well ahead of time. Excellent, helpful and frequent communications/updates from the seller. Brand new book arrived in mint condition (my uppermost requirement with a book, unless it's second hand), and very carefully packaged to prevent damage in transit. Top quality and very well priced. An excellent, ultra-efficient seller. Once again, many thanks.
I got this item in LN condition although it was listed as BN (and sealed). However the response from the staff has been outstanding. Communication worth the highest allocations. They have been very understanding and issued me a full refund, although I have asked to pay me back only cost of the postage. I wish there were more people like them on Ebay. I will continue to purchase items from them. A+++ seller
